Remote service interruption via Bluetooth firmware assertion
Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 3, 2025
Reachable assertion in MediaTek Bluetooth firmware allows remote attackers to interrupt service via improper exception handling. The firmware's exception path allows remotely supplied input to reach an assertion instead of handling the exceptional condition safely; MediaTek does not identify the handler or input format. No privileges or user interaction are required, and the published impact is limited to service interruption rather than data access or code execution.
